Caleb James is 10 months old and everywhere and into everything! LOL! He is one of the orneriest babies I have ever seen! He even has an ornery little grin to go with his adventures! He is also very clingy and is attached to me like paper to glue! It is sweet at times and highly annoying at others! He has learned to crawl quite fast and amazes me how quickly he gets to "no-no's"! We are all having fun watching and playing with him as he learns new things everyday! He is so much fun! He says "momma", "mom", "ba"(bath), "bu"(buddy-his lovey) and "Beppa"(Becca) and "bye-bye". He loves to take a bath! he crawls into the bathroom and pulls himself up to the tub and yells "ba"! It is funny because Ben did the same exact thing when he was his age! He is just like his big brother!

Ben and Becca are in their last week of school! Do I hear the Hallelujah chorus?! LOL!! We are all more than ready to be done! Abby has been enjoying playing outside with her neighbor friend Hannah, who is just a little younger than her. They play with their babies, with bubbles and play-doh. I also made cornstarch Goop for all the kids this week. It is so easy and fun as well as non-toxic and washable! You can not get any better than that! We simply mix cornstarch and water together and play with it! You can make it thin or thick, use it as a play-doh or as paint. Ours was thick at first and then got too thin when I added too much cornstarch. The kids did'nt mind and proceeded to 'paint' our deck! I even let Caleb play in it and of course, he tasted it! He made the awfulest face, I do not think he will be eating it again! They all made a major mess flinging it around and they had a BLAST! They washed off with no problem and so did their clothes. Here is random pictures from our days..............................
